In some scenarios, your page may have JavaScript animations or some other page load that the browser otherwise considers ready. In this case you may want to introduce an artificial delay to wait for that transition to complete. The follow step assists with this, and will wait for an active flag from the page.

Verb	Action
Given	I waited for the view to become active
When	I wait for the view to become active

While the above method introduces the most flexibility, a simpler set of steps also exist. These setups can check for an element to be displayed, not displayed, exist or not exist and optionally wait a given number of seconds for that to happen. This can be useful for scenarios where a wait dialog has appeared and you don’t wish to perform further work until it has cleared. It also implicitly sets performance benchmarks. The commands are listed below with the (for <seconds> seconds) as optional.

At times you may need to wait for a page become the URL (i.e. Login, Redirect etc.) In this scenario you can use the following:

Verb	Action
Given	I waited for the <page name> page
When, Then	I wait for the <page name> page

This will wait the default timeout for that page to become the active URL. You can also specify the timeout if you need more or less time:

Verb	Action
Given	I waited <count> seconds for the <page name> page
When, Then	I wait <count> seconds for the <page name> page
